Hi
It should be a core block now with the new possibilities of Moodle 4.0 wink
Hi Sarah Poulin,
At least on Moodle 3.10, the unofficial plugin seems to work fine. Did you uninstall the official plugin completely before installing the unofficial one? Make sure the plugin folder onserver is removed completely after uninstall, and I would also do a "Purge Caches" action and also clear my browser cache before installing and checking the new unofficial plugin.
I just tried this plugin, and subsequently the unofficial plugin from github, and neither one shows tick boxes next to the activity items. I assume that this is what people mean when they say that it "doesn't work"?
Hi, sorry to bother you again. Is there any chance you can change the version number that is supported to include 3.11 I have just updated moodle again and it has not installed your plugin during the upgrade as moodle thinks it will only work on versions up to 3.4. If you can change the version it supports to 3.11, the next time we update it, which we do most weeks, it will install automatically. Thank you.
Please can you update the version this supports to 3.11 so that it automatically installs during an update?
As a workaround for mass deletion, move the activities to a new section, then delete the whole section. (Source: https://support.sou.edu/kb/articles/faculty-delete-multiple-items-at-once)
No, it seems that unfortunately Matthew has not made his version official, see https://moodle.org/plugins/browse.php?list=contributor&id=226766 .
It appears the Lead Maintainer's institution no longer uses Moodle, so I would say they are no longer maintaining this activity (https://vetmed.umn.edu/education/educational-support/moodle).
I don't know if any of those who have done updates would be minded to maintain it going forward, or how that transfer would happen if the current maintainer is uncommunicative.
Hello! I am getting the error: "Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: get_user_timezone_offset() can not be used any more, please use standard PHP DateTimeZone class instead" after install plugin v5.1.3 (2018042400) in moodle 3.5.1+. Uninstallling the plugin did not solved the situation. I am far from work and do not have access to the server - Is there a way to fiz this error due to this plugin installation? Maybe an upgrade in the plugin? Thank you
I'm curious if Matthews version of this plug-in has been made official and if so, under what plug-in name?
I support Matthews pull request. And his unofficial release (https://github.com/Syxton/moodle-block_massaction/releases/tag/5.1.4) works with version 3.10 in our installation, too.
Is there any chance you make the plugin so that when you update moodle it automatically downloads the plugin as part of the upgrade. This would save so much time as currently when you upgrade it just says, "Additional Missing from disk!". Thank you so much.
Is there any plans to update this to be working on Moodle 3.8.4 and 3.9.2
I support Matthews pull request. Please merge it and create a new release.
But according to the profile page of lead maintainer Clem Smith, his last site access was already May 2018. Matthew, could you please make your version with the 3.9 fixes into an official plugin?
Here is an unofficial release I made that works in Moodle 3.9 and includes additional fixes and features. https://github.com/Syxton/moodle-block_massaction/releases/tag/5.1.4
